City of Jersey City: There is nothing wrong with those speed bumps -- so we'll get right to fixing them

Jersey City put down some serious speed bumps recently to get drivers along Erie St. and Bergen Ave. and elsewhere to slow down. Trouble was the speed bumps were a little *ahem* high and angular. So much so that these speed bumps are already scarred with the paint and undercarriage metal from quite a few cars and trucks. When reached for comment on the height of the speed bumps even Game of Thrones' Jon Snow said "Those are seriously tall."

After putting up a strong front initially and invoking you know, the children (When you bring a "think of the children" mention into your argument you've already lost), city spokesperson Jennifer Morrill went on to say yes, the bumps must be adjusted:

“In addition to marking the speed humps with thermoplastic, reflective pavement markers, the contractor will also be lowering them."

There you go. They WERE put in wrong.
